I ust got a pair of Dione's Ratsnakes, and was hoping for some info about them. The seller assured me they are typical ratsnakes in terms of care, and these young/small adults were breeding in the cage at a swap, so I'm not worried that they're too demanding -- but I'd like to know where they come from, how large they get, and anything else relevant and interesting about them. Thanks!

We (my son and I) have a site about Elaphe Dione

www.elaphedione.com

you can take a look .

Greeting from Wim (www.elaphedione.nl), Amsterdam.

This is not big snake, little more than 1 m. Where your snake came from - this is very complicated question, this species have tremendous areal and the same patterns and color diversity, therefore, if you dont know exact locality of your snake, you must see fotos of this species (there is several site in internet - Wim, my and Sacha Korrell).
